blackpowder deer season?
Personally, I wish they would eliminate muzzleloader or blackpowder season, just go from archery to rifle. My longest kills in the last several years have been with my ML anyway, including a 10-pointer at almost 200 yards. People will still hunt ML if they want to, just like some use bows during rifle season. JMO.
Yep I feel the same way.
If they are going to have that season it needs to be something with a side lock and of pre 1898 design and age only.
Going out there with a smokless front stuffer is just the same as a 3006.
jim67, I'm not picking on you personally but your post brings up what those who hunt with primitive weapons fear most....technology taking away the challenge. Honing the skills to get close and the patience to "work up a load" on the range has been replaced by 209 primers, pellets, scopes, compounds and crossbows. Nowadays you take your chosen weapon out for 30 minutes or so a week before season to make sure the scope/sights are still on from last year and go hunting opening morning. No time, no desire. Kinda takes the hunt out of hunting for me....If I had the patience to build a load for the traditional cap N ball then that would be a treat for me to get one with.
